Scott Raecker

Scott Raecker (born August 30, 1961) is a politician.

He received his BA in Political Science and Religious Studies from Grinnell College.

He gained notoriety in 2011 for introducing legislation that would have required the University of Iowa to sell Jackson Pollock's Mural (1943), which the university owns and regularly displays at the University of Iowa Museum of Art.

Raecker wanted the university to use proceeds from the sale to fund scholarships for University of Iowa students from Iowa.
